Having become friends with a black American soldier, Mao Ishikawa went to Philadelphia in the summer of 1987. There she took hundreds of photographs of everyday life in a ghetto neighborhood: the street, strip clubs, homes… the book is a real mix between investigation, social documentary and intimate notebook. A real success consecrated by its presence in the encyclopedia of Parr and Badger (III, p.91).
